Here’s how it works:

1. Read up on the 10 impressive honorees (five from Saratoga and five from the greater Capital Region) and the important charities they’re representing below.

2. Decide on one charity you’d like to support. (We know, it’s hard!)

3. Choose that charity when buying tickets.

4. Fifty percent of the cost of your ticket will go directly to that charity. The rest will support local journalism!

5. Show up on December 15 for a festive evening of food, drinks and music and to see which honoree raised the most for his or her charity!

The Honorees:

Adam Israel – Cofounder, Letters of Hope for Ukraine

Starletta Smith – Executive Director, YWCA of the Greater Capital Region

Annie Berdar – Supporter, South End Children’s Café

Shaun Evans – Senior Vice President of Education, Ainsley’s Angels

Jeff Yule – Executive Director, Building on Love

Dan Graham – Supporter, Lucky Puppy Rescue

Anna Kuwabara – Executive Director, Albany Symphony Orchestra

Nancy Underwood – Program Director, BEST Saratoga

Mike McNary – Board Member, Huntington’s Disease Society of America

Plus: the evening’s emcee, NEWS 10 ABC’s Christina Arangio (a Capital Region Gives Back alum)!
